"Under the district's 'zero-tolerance' policy, it really doesn't matter, spokesman Greg Viebranz said.
'When you see anything or hear anything that reflects violent images or violent statements - whether or not it's a direct threat, whether or not there may be intent - zero tolerance states that action has to be taken against the student,' Viebranz said
